Definitions
- the present invention generally relates to an actuator for an electro-hydraulic braking system and more particularly relates to an actuator for an electro-hydraulic, ‘brake-by-wire’ braking system.
- an object of the present invention is to disclose for an actuator of the type mentioned hereinabove a device for detecting a driver's deceleration wish, with said device being optimized with respect to packaging, production costs, weight and function.
- the present invention which comprises an annular housing embracing the piston in a radial direction and accommodating signal receiving elements which cooperate with signal transmitting elements mounted on the piston surface.
- a favorable aspect of the present invention implies that the piston is guided in the housing.
- the annular housing is axially preloaded in relation to the master brake cylinder housing.
- FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a design of the actuator of the present invention.
- FIG. 2 is a perspective cross-sectional view of the actuator of the present invention as shown in FIG. 1 .
- the actuator 1 for an electro-hydraulic brake system of the ‘brake-by-wire’ type includes a dual-circuit pressure generator or master brake cylinder 2 , a travel simulator 3 , and an non-pressurized pressure fluid supply reservoir (not shown) associated with the master brake cylinder 2 .
- the master brake cylinder housing 20 includes a radial flange 4 that is used to attach the actuator 1 to a body wall (not shown) of a motor vehicle.
- the attachment in the vehicle is preferably carried out in such a way that the parts of the actuator arranged on the right side of flange 4 in FIG. 1 extend into the passenger compartment, while the parts arranged on the left are arranged in the engine compartment of the motor vehicle.
- a flat seal 5 is used to seal the flange 4 in relation to the vehicle body wall.
- a hydraulic master cylinder piston 6 ( FIG. 2 ) is operated by a piston rod 7 coupled to an actuating or brake pedal (not shown) by means of a yoke 8 .
- the actuating movement of the piston rod 7 or of the master cylinder piston 6 is sensed by means of a device for detecting a driver's deceleration wish, being designated by reference numeral 9 .
- the device 9 for detecting a driver's deceleration wish includes an annular housing 10 that embraces the above-mentioned piston 6 in a radial direction or, respectively, in which said piston 6 is guided. Disposed in annular housing 10 are signal receiving elements 11 which, along with signal transmitting elements 12 fitted to the piston surface, form a measurement system.
- the annular housing 10 is axially supported, preferably under the preload of a spring 13 , on a stop 14 on the master cylinder housing against which, in turn, a packing 15 bears that is used to seal the master brake cylinder 2 with respect to the atmosphere.
- a design wherein the packing 15 is formed integrally with the annular housing 10 is also feasible.
- the annular housing 10 is secured in position in the master brake cylinder housing 20 by means of a retaining ring 23 on which the above-mentioned spring 13 is supported.
- the housing 10 includes a first cable guide part 16 extending through an opening 17 provided in flange 4 and being sealed in relation to flange 4 by means of a seal 18 that preferably acts in a radial direction. This prevents the ingress of fluid into the passenger compartment.
- the first cable guide part 16 is preferably configured so that its contour is adapted to the contour of the section of the master brake cylinder housing 20 that projects into the passenger compartment so that it is e.g. able to also fulfill centering tasks in this area.
- Adjacent to the first cable guide part 16 is a second cable guide part 19 that extends substantially in parallel to the master cylinder housing 20 and is attached thereto by means of a fastening element 21 .
- An electric interface or an electric connector part 22 is arranged at the end of the second cable guide part 19 , especially in the area of its attachment to the master cylinder housing 20 .
- the electric connector part is directly connected to the first cable guide part 16 .
- a favorable design arranges for the annular housing 10 , both cable guide parts 16 , 19 , and the electric connector part 22 to be made of plastics and to have an integral design.
- a sealing element in the type of a pleated bellows is provided between the master brake cylinder housing 20 and the piston rod 7 . It is particularly expedient in this variant when the above-mentioned flat seal 5 is designed integrally with the sealing element.
